As on so many Deathbomb Arc releases, »Hidden Assemblages« is marked by a multitude of discourses while also speaking in very different musical formal languages. On the first part of a planned trilogy, Donia Jarrar processes her experiences as a person with a multi-hyphenated identity who accordingly finds it difficult to connect to white, heteronormative society. She uses more or less classical piano and orchestral music, spoken word and jazz, but arranges or rather assembles it all in an inimitable way. Phonodelica goes against the grain in every respect, with a consistency that stands out even in the Deathbomb Arc roster.
